New this year, NBC will be offering a live stream on its website and apps for Olympic fans in the U.S. who want to wake up early and watch the opening ceremony while it's actually happening. The stream begins at 4 a.m. MT. NBC Olympics notes on its website that the live version will feature only "natural sound" so you'll have to tune in during primetime to see the full production.

During Friday night's primetime coverage, NBC will also be streaming the opening ceremony in virtual reality. You can download the NBC Sports VR app to watch a unique 360-degree video perspective and see a full schedule of events available in VR.
